Tripping around merry old England

I am currently in the UK, mostly England. I have been posting to my personal blog but WordPress is easier for photos and looking a castles, great houses and countryside is research for writing to my mind. I find myself inspired. I am three castles down, a UK Games Day down and York City down.

So for some photos.

We went to Bodiam and to Dover Castle in the same day. We were kinda knackered afterwards. I didn’t eat dinner and slept for 12 hours, which might be due to the fact that I was the driver on this little trek. Bodiam is not too far from Hastings (famous for the battle of) and then Dover Castle is in Dover (featuring white cliffs and a very domineering fascade).

Now for a few shots of Dover Castle and then we have to head out to explore York. More castle shots later.

Ancient Roman Lighthouse-only one left

It really was too big to get into the photo. Actually I realise this photo is the outer wall heading to the Great Tower. Apparently these walls had been lowered by about 15 feet to accommodate cannons.

Better go now. More later. I have Leeds Castle and Games Day to go, then maybe York photos.
